Panel: Linking economic reconstruction and EU accession: Opportunities and Challenges
13:30 to 14:35, Kino 10 – KYIV
Over the last 10 years, Ukraine has made significant reform steps and in December 2023 the European Council officially decided to open accession negotiations. At the same time, Ukraine is defending itself against Russia’s full-scale war that has led to economic reconstruction needs far exceding USD 400 bn.
